Most users of LinkedIn, the social network for the world of work owned by Microsoft, are unaware of the possibility of browsing it anonymously. This means that it is possible access the profiles of other users without them noticing that you have done so and also, of course, that others visualize yours without your being able to know it.

LinkedIn’s anonymous mode allows you to visit the profiles of other users without having to identify yourself

So becoming anonymous on LinkedIn, even for a limited time, is a great way to unnoticed while you collect information on the platform. As long as you have the anonymity option activated on LinkedIn, any other user who accesses your profile will not be able to see your avatar photo or your personal information.

However, this anonymous browsing option also implies that, if someone enters to see your profile, even if they do not have access to any information, you will not be able to know who it was. Only by contracting the Premium mode of the platform can you continue to know who enters your profile even while in anonymous mode.
